3E097BZIntroduction of Anesthetic Agent into Nose, Via Natural or Artificial Opening

3E097BZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a introduction procedure on the nose using a via natural or artificial opening approach with anesthetic agent. In ICD-10-PCS, introduction means putting in or on a therapeutic, diagnostic, nutritional, physiological, or prophylactic substance except blood or blood products.

In plain terms, this corresponds to injection or infusion of other therapeutic or prophylactic substance, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (99.29).

For a different body part, codes include 3E0B7BZ (ear), 3E0C7BZ (eye), 3E0D7BZ (mouth and pharynx), 3E0E7BZ (products of conception), 3E0F7BZ (respiratory tract), 3E0G7BZ (upper GI) and 5 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 3E093BZ (percutaneous) and 3E09XBZ (external).

With a different device, use 3E0973Z (anti-inflammatory), 3E0974Z (serum, toxoid and vaccine), 3E097HZ (radioactive substance), 3E097KZ (other diagnostic substance), 3E097NZ (analgesics, hypnotics, sedatives) and 3E097TZ (destructive agent).

It doesn't appear in the MS-DRG procedure index, so on its own it doesn't change the DRG assignment.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
